Memories from the past come in and out of the mind - triggered by an event, thought or emotion - it might be fleeting or linger longer than expected -
memories of upset, put them behind in a place where sadness can’t come to harm the pen that writes of a positive interaction with the world that surrounds them - memories of delight brings joy to the writer’s hand…

Duo Rhyme...

Confusion’s Pain

The mind swirls with own confusion,Image viewed is an allusion,Colors on
shadowed walls are stained,As if
one was captured and chained,Screams
enter the mind it is drained,Entrance to the soul was not gained,Sounds
escaped from weary chest pained,For
strength was not taught or was trained,Will shall aid body’s conclusion,Confusion’s pain needs transfusion.

Now my dear Rhoda there is confusion in my mind as to how you can come up with these. LOL Only kidding! I know you are just gifted and your strength surely was not taught or trained.. I think the words aptly describe when one is confused about something they are trying hard to bring clarity to their minds about. Thank you again for sharing another great poem. Love, Charlene

My postings come from the weekly Stylist Group on the Alliance website I belong to. Each week there is a new form we can create to. This is my creating using the Duo Rhyme poetry form. Somewhat dramactic, so happy you stopped by for a visit...rg

Dear Rhoda, I have experienced this confusion too. When people are alone for long periods of time, their minds begin to play tricks on them. The only "transfusion" that works for me is talking to friends or making an occasional visit to parks and historical sites. You have introduced us to a form of poetry that is new to me and I love the way in you work with it. Awesome poem, my friend! Love and blessings, Carolyn Devonshire

Thank you Carolyn for the indepth comment. Yes, as we age sometimes confusion sets in especially, when a lot is going on around us. Friends are so important for they truly understand where sometimes family members don't! Great insight Carolyn...rg

Hi Rhoda. I enjoyed "Confusion's Pain." Well written, fun and articulate. I certainly have experienced "Confusion's Pain." Lucky for us, there are available "transfusions" that we can apply to this area. Good read. -MJ

Change

There came a day at summer’s full entirely for the world to see; thinking only of fallen angels, where the heavens need to be. The ascended sun shown to all as flowers rise in bloom; silent ships sail in graceful rippling, hours live inside my room.

Time encircled with speechless doubt sparse symbols of unclear words; needlessly spread upon the earth, spoken loudly as mockingbirds. Each was sealed to a belief of faith not permitted to consume this time; protecting ones awkward show, as our moments end with rhyme.

Our fleeting moments of daily flight clutch tightly to faltering hands; facing life with uncertainty, devils taught us to understand. Failure fails around our eyes no sounds to clear the air; bonding with angels who never stray, holding tightly for they're aware…of change.
